Engineering Speed at Scale — Architectural Lessons from Sub-100-ms APIs
Sub‑100-ms APIs emerge from disciplined architecture using latency budgets, minimized hops, async fan‑out, layered caching, circuit breakers, and strong observability. But long‑term speed depends on culture, with teams owning p99, monitoring drift, managing thread pools, and treating performance as a shared, continuous responsibility.

Relational Data at the Edge: How Cloudflare Operates Distributed PostgreSQL Clusters
Explore Cloudflare's distributed PostgreSQL clusters and learn how a cross-region architecture ensures resilience. Discover how data storage and access at the edge deliver massive performance gains by reducing location-sensitive latency and why architecting for degraded states is much harder than for failure states.

The Fatal Flaw of Finalizers and Phantoms
Most developers know that finalizers should not be depended on, but sometimes they are necessary. PhantomReferences, often cited as a good alternative, also suffer from the same fundamental problems. In this article we reveal how to contend with the many issues surrounding finalization in Java.

Is Your Java Application Hostile to JIT Compilation?
One of the most important parts of the JVM is the Just-In-Time (JIT) compiler. However, many applications are not written to take full advantage of the high-performance capabilities of the JIT. In this article we investigate some simple tricks to identify issues that may be making your application unfriendly to JIT.
